2. The hose couplers are color coded to assist you in making the proper
connections. You may want to use gray for cold and red for hot. Thread the inlet
hoses onto the water faucets by hand until snug. Then using pliers, tighten an
additional two-thirds turn.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the hose couplings, do not overtighten.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the faucets do not use plumber’s tape or sealants on
the valve threads.

formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too
many soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of
detergent residue from clothes.
rIf you select the Quick cycle, it is recommended that you use a liquid laundry
detergent to achieve optimum results. Powdered detergent may not dissolve
fast enough to clean well in this cycle.
rDetermine the amount of detergent. Follow the detergent use instructions on
the container.
NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil
level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer.
Liquid Detergent
1. Fill washer with a small amount of water and add liquid detergent.
NOTE: For best results, add the detergent to the wash basket before loading
with laundry.
2. Run washer for 30 seconds to dissolve detergent completely.
